Abstract (en)

In a motor vehicle automatic transmission, clutch-to-clutch downshifts in the course of a coast mode of operation are effected by releasing an off-going clutching device (28 to 32) at a time determined in relation to vehicle speed and deceleration rate, and applying an on-coming clutching device a predermined time thereafter such that apply occurs when the engine speed is substantially equal to the transmission input speed in the downshifted speed ratio. The predetermined time defines an neutral interval during which the on-coming clutching device is filled with hydraulic fluid in preparation for engagement, and the engine speed assumes its neutral idle value. At the end of the predetermined time, the engine speed and the transmission input speed in the downshifted speed ratio are at the neutral idle value, and the on-coming clutching device is applied to complete the shift.
